- SID #: This is found in the e-mail confirming creation of your SLUO account (see above)
- New Account Type: If you are an offsite user, you must request a Unix account at a minimum, as that is the account used to access the batch and file systems; however, it wouldn't hurt to request a Windows account as well
- SLAC e-mailbox: If you work primarily at another institution, it would probably be best to select None; you can still receive e-mails at USERNAME@slac.stanford.edu, they will simply be forwarded to your primary e-mail account; otherwise, MS Exchange or Unix should probably be selected on the basis of your preferred e-mail client (Outlook would imply MS Exchange, anything else would probably imply Unix)
- Requested User ID: This can be anything, but generally some combination of your last name and possibly your first name or initial would be best – this will make it easier for other users to identify who you actually are from files that you create or edit
- Computer Czar: This should be Anders BorglandConcetta Cartaro.
After filling out both of the SLAC computing forms, they should be faxed to Anders Borgland Concetta Cartaro at 650-926-22213883. It is also a good idea to send a brief e-mail to Anders Concetta to confirm their receipt. You can also scan the forms and email them directly to Andersher. Anders She will sign your computing account form and forward it to the SLAC Computing Division, which should send you an e-mail with your new account information in a few days. If it takes longer than this, something is probably held up and you should contact the Account Services Desk at 650-926-ACCT and/or AndersConcetta.
Once you have received e-mails confirming your new account(s), follow directions for changing the default password(s) as soon as possible. Once again, your account will be locked if you do not do this quickly!
